Face To Face - John Huston

Famously pugilistic director John Huston talks about fighting with Errol Flynn, his preference for 'stories to do with men' and what the medium of film means to him. He also touches on his relationships with his father (the actor Walter Huston) and his own children, and recalls his time as a down-and-out living on the streets of London.

In 1925, John Huston spent a long vacation in Mexico, where his adventures included riding as an honorary member of the Mexican cavalry. Before becoming a director, one of the films he worked on as a writer was 'Murders in the Rue Morgue' (1932), starring Bela Lugosi.

This is an audio version of the television programme 'Face to Face'.
